I watch a NGS a while back where they explained lava flow and said something to the effect that "black" lava can be upward of 800 deg. They showed a series of objects that "burst" into flame on contact..
If this is real, that guy is the real Carl...

Don't try this at home

The photo appears to show Singson braving the heat to shoot a photograph, but he was simply posing for a one-of-a-kind portrait. “I thought it would be pretty cool to take a lava pic with my shoes and tripod on fire,” he writes.
It may look too crazy to be true, but Singson insists that it’s a genuine photograph: “That’s real lava real flames and it was really hot! I could stand the heat only for a few seconds.”

The photo is real, but the flames are not the result of spontaneous combustion. “The flames on the tripod and my shoes did not start because of the lava” Singson freely admits. “It’s like if you put your shoe in a hot frying pan, it will not catch fire right away”.
Singson used an accelerant to start the flames then had his buddy snap the shot. The reason? “It’s just something I wanted for my Facebook cover photo”.

I had a buddy in Hawaii who was a Geology major and who had to see the flows off Kilauea.
He got a little past halfway to the flow with his sample bucket and hammer when his boots started to smoke, and he had to make a run for it.
They didn't look quite as bad as those shoes though.

He ignited an accelerant and depending on what he used, it could've been virtually smokeless. Have you ever burned denatured alcohol?
